Frederic Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Not meaning to hijack this topic, but i couldn't find a separate category for ISUZU. Anyone has off-road experiences with the ISUZU TROOPER LWB 3.2 DOHC ? According to the specs should be having close to 200hp, but they are pretty heavy and the spare part availability might be a concern, or am i wrong ?

Rahimdad Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 @Frederic Nuyttens, its a capable off-road vehicle, little under powered due to power to weight ratio and parts are definitely hard to come by and expensive when you finally source them. In South Africa the SWB version is a great hit, but their idea of off-road is different than ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper was quite famous and capable too, but less popularity and parts scarcity killed it completely. 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

He wanted a capable truck to tow his horse trailer. We checked out the Hyundai Galloper which was based on the trooper if i am not mistaken.

Barry Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Friend back home has one. Can’t answer how it is in the desert but it’s pretty good in snow and mud and in the mountains. His is a TD with loads of work done, big turbo, big pump, big injectors etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertdude Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) It is a pretty solid off roader, running big dyna 44s I think and no its not based on the pajero. P.S : Also a Paris Dakkar winner, so that makes it kick ass in some peoples views Edited December 27, 2018 by desertdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse the whole world knows the galloper was literally an older rebadged Pajero because from what I remember Hyundai basically bought all the tooling for the older pajeros and even the motor was basically a mistsu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 all the troopers i have seen are only manuals definitely the part sides is really bad had to wait for around 2 months until the customer found a used distributor (delco) as some know it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you set up a shop and ship somewhere with aramex or ups or somewhere, you can have anything from anywhere in the world delivered in a few days. Complaining about lead times isn’t cool anymore and isn’t an excuse. In this modern day and age, it’s possible if you’re prepared to do a bit of research. If Vin Diesel can get overnight parts from Japan, everyone else should be able to do it. I order a lot of stuff from America for classic mustangs, corvettes, el caminos and other weird stuff and most of it gets here in a few days if it’s organised properly.
